for shame, OP
Bentley Sanchez
Other than the first I don't know none of them
Carson Gutierrez
I'd move Yamada up to #2.
Charles Scott
He's dead, Jim.
This is taste.
Michael Edwards
literally whos
Gabriel Walker
where is imaishi?
Nicholas Murphy
Has he done a film?
Eli Ramirez
Yuasa hasn't released a film since 2003. You can't rank him as a "current anime film director" based on two films that aren't out yet. Satoshi Kon died 7 years ago and he still has a film released more recently than Yuasa.
Tyler Davis
>Naoko Yamada
Nice meme.
He did actually.
But why should only movies count?

Colton Wright
where's akiyuki shinbo? Kizu films count, right?
David Turner
I have no complaints
Carter Reed
so you are retard
Mason Watson
The Kizu films count, that's why Oishi is on the list. Shinbo isn't a director in the way the role is usually understood (since he started working at Shaft, at least. Before that he was a "normal" director), so he tends to be left out of lists like this.
Asher Moore
Hosoda doesn't deserve to be that high considering he's only made two films worth a damn.
Ethan Lopez
>miyazaki
man hasn't produce a good film since 1997
Isaac Smith
Spirited Away and The Wind Rises are better than Princess Mononoke
Austin Jones
The ranking is bad based on the fact that most of those directors are bad, and the power gap between Miyazaki and the rest is just too large. Anime isn't really the type of thing where you can have these conversations.
Chase Hall
Pleb list for not including Takahata.
Joseph Smith
>most of those directors are bad
If you believe this then you must only like 4-6 directors at best.
Jordan Myers
>not even rating Takahata
Just fuck off.
Jordan Hill
He's retired
Nicholas Sullivan
I was trying to be inflammatory, mediocre would be a more appropriate word. Is liking 4 to 6 directors too little?
William Miller
You know you didn't have to make such an elaborate thread just to shitpost Makoto Shinkai. You could have just called him a faggot.
